Project I: Application of Building Services

Tasks:

This project is related to the students’ studio design project in semester 2 which relates to a domestic size building (i.e. a retreat house, etc.) Students are expected to demonstrate their understanding of building services by proposing and designing the most appropriate systems for the building which include:

i) electrical supply system
ii) cold water and hot water supply system
iii) sewerage and sanitary system
iv) drainage system

Therefore students are required to produce appropriate drawings and diagrams which include specifications, symbols, legends, images, texts, etc. to describe the planning and installation of all the building services. Additionally, students may also include specific clauses from the Uniform Building By-Law (UBBL) or other relevant Acts, Laws or guidelines which relate to the proposed systems into their presentation boards.

Reflection:

This projects provides a great understanding for us towards electrical supply system, cold water and hot water supply system, sewerage and sanitary system, drainage system , which after each and every lecture according to the respective systems, we were required to show our understandings of it and apply to our buildings designed in studio two. After every tutorials on my drawings that I progressed every week, I was able to understand the systems in the buildings and interpret it into drawings and gather infos to start explaining it on the board. Time management is also really crucial in organizing your time for understanding your own drawings then further proceed into the info board.
